“This person has told me from the start, years and years ago, that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person’s view, was not a pedophile,” Megyn said. “This is this person’s view, who was there for a lot of this, but that he was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls.”
Megyn continued, “I realize this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this. I’m just giving you facts that he wasn’t into, like, eight-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby.”
Megyn added that she didn’t change her opinion on the case until she learned that the feds had evidence that Epstein possessed thousands of videos containing child sexual abuse.
“For the first time I thought, ‘Oh no, he was an actual pedophile.’ Only a pedophile gets off on young children abuse videos,” Megyn said.
Megyn is facing so much backlash for sharing these views of Epstein, even if they’re not her own.
Activist Shannon Watts said, “Megyn Kelly trying to convince her listeners that sex trafficking girls is less offensive if they’ve gone through puberty.”
Megyn recently made headlines for comments about a popular young actress.
